So tomorrow will be my fifth time having acupuncture this cycle. I've done a little more research in the last couple days, and plan to read more about it in the coming weeks. But a few ways it supposedly helps with fertility is to #1 regulate your hormone levels, and #2 increase blood flow to your uterus to help with a healthy lining for implantation. And also help relieve stress.

So I'm wondering if having acupuncture this cycle helped my chart look the way it does. I typically don't get a temp "jump", my temp always just rose slowly over 1-2 days and I'd get CHs. (Last cycle the very low temp was taken 4 hours early because of a flight I had). There's no doubting I O, it's just not a drastic rise. But this cycle it jumped more than normal. Also, I've worried about low progesterone, and I know that temps too close to your CH can indicate that. This cycle my temps are well above the coverline. (All of the open circles are actually taken EARLIER than normal, so the temps should have probably been higher). I haven't taken my temp in the last 2 days, but I'll start again tomorrow to see if this holds true.

Also, I'm hoping it helps with my pre-AF spotting. The last two cycles I've started spotting at 8dpo. My LP was intially 10 days when I began TTC, and it's gotten to 12 days, but when spotting starts at 8dpo, that's still frustrating.

Just thought I'd give an update. Even it's the placebo affect, it's okay with me!

Lynda how's it going for you??

Your chart looks picture perfect to me (but I am no expert). Have you compared it to your other pregnancy charts? Good Luck - I hope this is what you needed!

[Christine-MA]

I think it looks better than my pregnancy charts, although we all know pretty charts don't necessarily mean anything!

I hope that the acupuncture did the trick Christine. Your chart looks pretty good to me!

well i love doing it. it relaxes me alot!!! i think my AF came on time, after the m/c due to the acupuncture. my body however does not seem to want to O and this will be the first time - IF it doesn't O in the next week. I know it can be late after a m/c, but i didn't O late last month which was the first month after the m/c. so i'm not sure. i'm going to keep doing it, but i'm very nervous about possibly not Oing this cycle. my cm is totally dry, but temps are still down. i'm very very frustrated, but i tend to blame it more on the m/c than acupuncture. i just want to have normal cycles and i know i'm being impatient!!! i hope it does the trick for you Christine!!

I hope that the acupuncture works for both of you!!! I've been so tempted to try it, but DH thinks I'm crazy! LOL

I hope the accupuncture works! Keep us posted. Your chart looks great!

8 DPO and no spotting at all. I'm very excited about that! Even if I don't great pregnant this cycle, I honestly do think the acupuncture is helping with my hormone levels.

I may test Thursday at 10dpo, but I'll TRY to hold out until Friday I hurt my neck again and am going to the Dr Thursday so if they want to do xrays/mri or anything (although they prob won't do it Thur), I would like to know. Plus it's an excuse for me to test a day earlier lol

I hope that it works!!! I don't think that we have a place around here that legitimately does that.
